Chapter 3

"OH MY GOSH! Par, like wake up! You're going to like miss breakfast!" Parvati was woken up by Lavender's girly squeals.

"I haven't seen you for like ages!" Lavender squealed.

"UGH, LAV, COULD YOU BE ANY LOUDER! I was having a good dream too!" Parvati screamed. She then stormed out of bed, took out her uniform, and jumped into the shower. Just as she was walking down the dormitory steps, she saw Harry on his way to the portrait.

"Hey Harry, wait!" Parvati called to him. Harry stopped and looked back.

"Come on, let's go." He said, and the two headed out towards the Great Hall.

"What took you two so long?" Ron asked through his toast. Hermione didn't look too happy with him talking and eating at the same time. She then went up to get the schedules.

"Could it get even worse? Double History of Magic with Hufflepuff, Double Potions with Slytherin, Herbology with Ravenclaw, and Transfiguration with Slytherin!" Harry exclaimed. "We're going to be dead after today, I tell you! Two periods with Malfoy is HORRIBLE!"

A while later they headed to History of Magic.

"Everyone sit down. Dan the Dreadful…" Professor Binns said in his monotone voice. Parvati hated this class. Professor Binns just kept going on and on and by the end of it, she usually was half asleep. Only Hermione Granger and Ernie Macmillan seemed to be taking notes. Ron and Harry were engrossed in a Hangman competition. Parvati was doodling on her parchment. She was drawing Harry on his Firebolt catching the Golden Snitch.

'That reminds me, I'm going to try out for Quidditch this year.' Parvati thought. She always had had an interest in Quidditch and her and Padma played at home in their backyard. She wondered if Mum could send her Nimbus 2000 to her. She'd have to write.

"Parvati, nice picture." Hermione whispered, smirking. Parvati felt her face grow hot.

"Aww, I didn't know you fancied Harry." She whispered.

"Shhh, be quiet. I will kill you if you tell." Parvati angrily whispered back.

"Okay let me take notes!" Hermione whispered. Two minutes before the bell, Professor Binns stopped.

"I'd like a 3 scroll essay on the 1467 Goblin war by Tuesday." He said, and the bell rang.

"Harry, do you know when Quidditch tryouts are?" Parvati asked as they made their way to the dungeons.

"Yeah, on September 20th. Why do you want to know?" Harry asked curiously. Parvati debated on whether to tell him or not and finally decided.

"Uh… I want to try out, for chaser, but don't tell anyone." Parvati told him quietly. Harry's eyes widened and his jaw dropped open.

"What! No offense but you, Parvati Patil, who should, along, with Lavender, should win a trophy for the 'Most Feminine Girls in Hogwarts' trying out for Quidditch?" He silently screamed. "Wow. You've changed!"

"Oh, if it isn't Potty and Patil. The two are dating! Patil, I thought you preferred French boys. Apparently not." Draco Malfoy's familiar drawl could be heard throughout the dungeons.

"Sod off, Malfoy. We are NOT dating!" Parvati screamed.

"At least I'm not walking with a pug, ferret!" Harry teased. It was true. Pansy Parkinson, Malfoy's girlfriend, had a face that looked like a pug. In their fourth year, Malfoy had been transfigured into a ferret by the imposter Mad-Eye Moody.

"Where are Weasel and the mudblood? Oh yeah, they're snogging behind some statue. Why aren't you with them, Potty?" Harry was pulling out his wand when Parvati stopped him.

"No. Don't do it Harry. Come on, let's go." Parvati said, trying to calm him down. She didn't want Snape to see the two fighting. A minute later, he walked into the dungeon.

"Today we will be brewing Veritaserum, the Truth Potion. I am surprised to see Longbottom and Potter have apparently passed the requirements. The ingredients are," Snape flicked his wand, "now on the board. I've decided to do different pairings." He went through a few.

"Granger, Malfoy. Weasley, Parkinson. Greengrass, Longbottom, Patil, hmm, Potter." Apparently, Malfoy's two goons had not passed.

"At least you're not with ferret." Parvati whispered. They had started to get their ingredients together. Making Veritaserum was hard! Harry was paying special attention to the board. She looked at his face and was surprised to see a lot of sadness in his eyes, as if he were about to cry.

"Something wrong?" Parvati asked. Harry looked as if he were trying to hide something.

"No. I- I'm p-perfectly fine." Harry said, slightly stuttering. 'Now he's acting like Neville.' Parvati thought. Her thoughts were cut short by Snape's voice.

"Your potion should be clear and should have a blue gas coming from it. Your homework is to write a two-scroll essay on an instance when Veritaserum has come in use." Surprisingly, theirs did. Usually Harry messed up.

"Here, I'll take it up." Parvati said, and she poured it into a vial and took it up. Before they knew it, the bell had rung to go to lunch.

"Harry, is something wrong?" Hermione asked as they walked out. Harry still had that look on his face.

"How about we go on a walk by the lake after classes are over." Parvati suggested. She wanted to know what had happened to Harry.

After lunch, they had gone to Herbology and Transfiguration, where they had learned how to transfigure a cauldron into a goblet. It was then time to go by the lake.

"Harry, what's bothering you?" Hermione asked.

"Mate, is it about last year?" Ron asked him.

"Okay, I was in Snape's room when I realized that this was the first time I'd seen him since the events of last year." Harry said. "If I hadn't been such a stupid idiot, Sirius wouldn't have died!"

"Wait a minute, your godfather was SIRIUS BLACK? So you knew where he was all this time and he's now DEAD?" Parvati asked, shocked.

"Yes, Parvati." Harry said, whose tears were welling up. "He was the only thing closest to a parent that I had!" After this, he burst out crying.

"Aww, it's okay, Harry. Let it all out." Parvati said, trying to comfort him. She then hugged him, and he cried on her shoulder. She didn't care if her robes got all wet.

Harry needed her…
